Doesn't matter one bit if it's 130 or 135mm. It can be configured any way you want. Here's a picture of a similar hub from that era:



See that silver 5mm spacer/washer on the left side of the axle? That's added to the hub to make a 135mm spacing. If you remove it, you end up with 130mm spacing (a 30-second procedure). Of course, you'll need to chop the axle and re-dish the wheel, but that's another 5-10 minutes max.

Most likely it's coming from a road-bike with 130mm spacing, so you probably won't have to do anything.
